ARMY SENDS HUGE SUPPLY DILL
Dissatisfaction With
Leadership Flares In
House Of Commons
£/
By the Associated Press
London, June 23. — Dissatis-
faction with Britain's military
leadership flared openly in the
house of commons today as it re-
ceived its first accounting of the
defeat in Libya.
Although the heartening, news
came that Britain's desert forces
have been reinforced and that the
more reinforcements are on the
way. the house learned that the
naval side of the Libyan struggle
cost Britain seven warships, in-
cluding a light cruiser, and 30
planes.
Clement Attlee, Dominions sec-
retary, made the report in the
absence of Prime Minister
Churchill in the United States,
but offered little explanation of
the sharp, sudden setback which
pushed (he British Eighth army to
the Egyptian border.
The hpuse, apparently deter-
mined to fix the blame for the de-
feat,; cheered when Conservative
Sir John Wardlaw - Milne, from
Churchill's own party, declared
that some members "no longer
have confidence in the military di-
rection of the war."
When Attlee suggested that he
was seeking a scapegoat, a voice
cried out from one of the benches:
" Why not?"
As the members demanded to
know when Churchill himself
would return to give a full state-
ment and answer the nation's anx-
ious questions. Sip Stafford Cripps.
lord privy seal and leader in the
house, announced that there would
be a two - day debate oa Libya-
Part of- Attlee's statement was a
telegram for General Sir Claude
J. E. Auchinleck, British middle
eastern commander - in, chief,
disclosing that the Eighth Army
"already has received and still is
receiving further reinforcements."
Attlee acknowledged that "e-
vents have turned against us" but
he declared Britain still had
strong forces in the field being
implemented by "substantial land
and air reinforcements" and that
"the splendid courage and morale
T"
a_
of our troops" was unshaken.
Auchinleck reported that at
one point Rommel's army was.
exhausted and had been fought to
a standstill.
"Had we been able to take ad-
vantage of the enemy's position1
we might have turned the scale,"
he added, "but in point of fact,
however, We were equally ex-
hausted and this was impossible."
Attlee indicated, nevertheless,
that the situation in North Africa
is not irreparable.
"The position is difficult " but
the fight for Libya still contin-
ues," he said-
"Every possible step is being
taken to "improve the position?
Any further advance by the en-
emy, who has also had heavy loss-
es, will be stoutly opposed."
Describing the fall of Tobruk as
a "heavy and unexpected blow,"
Attlee.reported that "we have as
yet no details of the subsequent
fighting nor information as to
what number of the garrison have
been able to escape capture."
' Axis claims have put the Brit-
ish captives at 28,000.
Attlee listed seven British' war-
ships as sunk in attacks on con-
voys in the Mediterranean but put
Axis sea - and - air losses in the
naval phase of the struggle still
higher.
This was his' box score: „
Surface vessels sunk—
British: One light cruiser, four
wteoyera, • lw+r m*pt 'veggglg.-**-
Axis: One eight - inch cruiser,
two destroyers, one submarine.
Surface vessel damaged—
Axis: One battleship torpedoed.
Aircraft destroyed— .
British—30. „
Axis—65. - . ,
